At the Bezos-Sánchez wedding, 'unapologetic glamour' ruled

Well, it was never going to be low-key. Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez's Venice wedding has been the glitzy, rococo bonanza the world expected—and then some.

Over multiple days of festivities well-documented by photographers, Sánchez and guests including Oprah Winfrey, the Kardashian-Jenners, Sydney Sweeney and Ivanka Trump have turned the waterways of Venice into a style spectacle rife with va-va-voom printed gowns, massive gems, tan, shiny, muscular limbs, just-so hair and photo-ready makeup.

The fashion, heavy on form-fitting pieces from luxury designers Dolce & Gabbana, Valentino, Roberto Cavalli and Oscar de la Renta, speaks volumes about the way the billionaire class wants to be seen today. In a word: rich.

Sánchez, whose extravagant white lace wedding dress was designed by Dolce & Gabbana, set the tone for her guests to dress lavishly from the moment she touched down in Venice. The 55-year-old journalist's looks also included a little black Alaïa dress for her arrival by helicopter, a black one-shoulder embellished evening gown, a white short-sleeved Dior suit and a gold Schiaparelli strapless couture gown.
